[Kaito's Heart]

[soulping]

[A gust of wind rushes past you, so strong that you nearly stumble backwards from the force. You hear whispers in your ear, an unfamiliar voice saying, no, not here, not now, go back, before your senses shut off entirely]

[You wake up again to find yourself in a room]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[debate_avenger]

I thought so...

Well then, if that's where the smoke is coming from, that's probably our destination, but we still need one more...

I'm heading into the portal everyone, I'll leave the puppet with anyone that wants to fix it up, though.

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[fuhrinkaed]

...I'll give it a shot.

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[debate_avenger]

[Then, I'll be passing the puppet off to you and head inside the portal.]

Good luck, I'll see if I can find the last key.

[You pass through the portal and enter a small, cramped room with glass walls. Those who attended Nyssa's game would easily recognize this as one of the glass cylinders that imprisoned Kaito and others while everyone else voted. Thankfully, the portal you entered through remains behind you. Unlike those cylinders, this one has an exit.]

[There is a puppet hanging from the ceiling of this room as well. It's a small marionette of Kaito, though there is a theatrical comedy mask glued to his face. On the ground, you'll find scattered, bloodied bandages]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[debate_avenger]

[I've been in one before, yes. Let's see, then... First, let's clean up these bandages.]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[She picks up a bandage. . .]

[And is immediately struck with the memory of Kaito, terrified yet angry, struggling against some thorny vines that are slowly squeezing the life out of him. It's. . . painful, to say the least]

[When the memory fades, Diz will have a few puncture wounds dotting her arms and legs]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[debate_avenger]

[Not the worst way I could imagine dying, to be honest. Still yes, it is definitely painful. Next... Let's take that puppet down. I will teleport up there if need be.]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[She can teleport up there, but the puppet seems to be attached firmly to the ceiling. It's not coming down]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[debate_avenger]

[...Well, I'll have to give up on this, then. Still, let it be known that I tried.

The only thing left is... Yes, to finish cleaning up the bandages. Let's get them organized, at least.]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[. . . Diz do you really want to. . .]

[She touches another bandage, and this memory is of that time during Nyssa's game. He's stabbed right through the heart with a shard of glass, and although it's painful, it's at least quick]

[When the memory fades, in addition to those puncture wounds, Diz now has a wound on her chest over her heart. it's bleeding, but not fatal]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[debate_avenger]

[Ah yes, this. I assumed that would happen to me in that game, to be honest.

But yes, I am in fact going to continue doing this until all the bandages are cleaned up! It's not like I'm not already hurt anyways!]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[hyanaimne]

[after she's done convincing Diamond that the dragon is supposed to be here, Clover is going to go through the portal to see if she can't help find anything.

And stops short when she sees what's on the other side]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[. . . SURPRISE!!]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[hyanaimne]

[if this weren't as important as it was she would've NOPED right back out of the portal.

How high is the puppet? Could she reach if she tried?]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[she can! though if she tries to pull it down, she won't be able to. it's stuck up there pretty tightly]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[hyanaimne]

[THAT'S TERRIBLE . . .

But she's. She's going to take a deep breath and see if there's anything in the cylinders]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[The cylinder is the room itself! It's just big enough for her to fit inside]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[hyanaimne]

[please excuse the player's lack of reading comprehension.

Okay, so. . . . so . . . what now. She kneels down carefully, and picks up one of the bandages]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[fuhrinkaed]

[IM TRYING TO REASSEMBLE THE QUEEN PUPPET.]

[By using a needle and thread if one is available. OR if not, just. Making it. As close to presentable and in one piece as I can. :'D]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[. . . sure, there's a needle and thread located in the hollow inside of the marionette puppet]

[he can use that to repair the queen! Though she's not the only puppet hurt, several others have been knocked down during the dragon fight]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[fuhrinkaed]

[JUST.]

[GONNA REPAIR ALL THE ONES THAT ARENT NYSSA/WILDER/TRAUMAECHOES...]

[...not repairing rotten's either if it's there it might be covered in icky things.]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[. . . ED. . .]

[He can do that! Er, sort of. They're still damaged and no longer in pristine condition, anyway. What does he do with them afterwards?]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[fuhrinkaed]

[...]

Hey, dragon? Where do these dolls go? Can you point it out for me, please?

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[the dragon lets out a low rumbling noise, but responds politely! and he points to the ceiling, where some of the puppets are still hanging]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[fuhrinkaed]

[I need a clever plan, or the ability to do totally awesome ninja moves.]

[Luckily, I have one of those things! Let's ninja moves our way up the and try to reattach the marionettes to the ceiling with some kind of hypothetical ninja sewing technique.]

[...this will probably take a while and involve several pratfalls if it can indeed be done at all.]
